After being laid off, I made the decision to take control of my future by exploring various side hustle ideas. Below are ten profitable side hustle ideas that you can try out, whether you’re looking to make some extra cash, have recently been laid off, or want to build additional sources of income for the future.
1. **Etsy Shop**: Starting an Etsy shop is a great way to sell a variety of products, from mugs and t-shirts to art and crafts. To be successful on Etsy, you’ll need some creative skills, such as graphic design or crafting. Setting up an Etsy shop is relatively easy, and the potential upside is significant if you have unique products to offer.
2. **Dog Sitting/Dog Walking**: Providing pet care services through platforms like Rover or Wag can be a fun and rewarding side hustle. As long as you enjoy animals and are comfortable with pet care, this side hustle is straightforward to get started with. However, the potential income may vary depending on the number of clients you take on.
3. **Affiliate Marketing**: Affiliate marketing involves promoting products or services and earning a commission for every sale made through your referral links. This side hustle requires convincing skills and the ability to market products effectively. While it’s easy to get started, the potential for high income depends on your audience and marketing efforts.
4. **Freelance Work**: Freelancing offers various opportunities, from writing and editing to design and marketing services. As a freelancer, you can work on projects remotely and set your rates. Getting started as a freelancer is relatively easy, but building a sustainable income may require effort to establish a strong client base.
5. **YouTube Channel**: Starting a YouTube channel allows you to create content on topics of interest and potentially monetize your videos through ads. While it may take time and effort to grow a YouTube channel, the earning potential can be significant once you establish a loyal audience.
6. **Delivery Services/Driving**: Platforms like GrubHub and Uber offer opportunities for earning income through food delivery or driving services. This side hustle requires a reliable vehicle and good driving skills. While it’s easy to get started, the potential income may be limited based on demand and hours worked.
7. **Virtual Assistant**: Working as a virtual assistant involves providing administrative support and services to clients remotely. This side hustle requires organizational skills and proficiency in tasks like email management and project coordination. While it’s easy to start as a virtual assistant, the potential income may vary based on the services offered and rates charged.
8. **Online Courses**: Creating and selling online courses on platforms like Teachable or Kajabi can be a lucrative side hustle. To create successful online courses, you’ll need expertise in a particular subject or skill. While it’s relatively easy to get started, the income potential is significant, especially for high-quality courses that attract a wide audience.
9. **Online Store**: Starting an online store or boutique allows you to sell products and merchandise online. This side hustle requires product creation and management skills, along with a strong online presence. While it’s easy to get started, scaling an online store to generate substantial income may require time and effort.
10. **Podcasting**: Starting a podcast can be a creative and engaging side hustle that allows you to share content with a global audience. This side hustle requires podcasting equipment and editing skills. While it’s easy to get started, monetizing a podcast through sponsorships and ads may require building a loyal listener base over time.
In conclusion, exploring different side hustle ideas can be a great way to supplement your income, especially during uncertain times. Each side hustle offers unique opportunities for earning potential, and with dedication and effort, you can turn your side hustle into a successful source of income. Remember, the key to success with side hustles is to find something you’re passionate about and willing to put effort into building.

March 18, 2024 at 2:16 amThe point made in this video about the importance of support for future leaders stuck with me. That's why I think platforms like InterCxn are so important.
@LaurieKenzelsays:
March 18, 2024 at 2:16 amLoved your video. I am constantly looking for a side hustle. Every time I ck out possible positions I find customer service jobs where you have to have great computer skills. Not for me. Please keep posting more ideas. I might ck out a virtual assistant job. Thank you😊

March 18, 2024 at 2:16 amGreat info. I just retired and still feel like I just have lots too offer. Additionally, Mr. Bill collector never retires and I don't feel like giving him all my hard earned money. Wishing you much success!

March 18, 2024 at 2:16 amThank you for making this video. My family is in difficult spot financially right now. my mother doesn't want me to overwhelm myself with a job as well as working to graduate, but we could really use some extra cash. I hope maybe i can use one or 2 of these to help out.

March 18, 2024 at 2:16 amPet sitting is a definite nice add on income for especially seniors. Especially stay at the homes to decrease the animal's stress and house sit, get mail and water plants. Not necessarily needing to walk the dogs.
Getting seniors to their shopping or doing shopping to help them. If you can offer cleaning senior apts and keep it reasonable for them it is a wonderful help for seniors.
Senior companion to fix a few meals or just being for them. Lits if baby boomers needing reasonable assistance.
@ErikaBarderesays:
March 18, 2024 at 2:16 amWatched the whole video & appreciate the tips.
I agree with people mentioning taxes & such. For example, the Uber sample income you stated would be entirely wiped out by paying for gas, car washes, & eventually maintenance. I know that's supposed to be obvious, but people really do forget how much of your income isn't going to your pocket.
My other thoughts, that may come in handy for if you make future vids on this subject, is that some of these "side hustles" are truly another person's career. Meaning 2 things: (1) a lot more goes into it than it seems, which takes much more time than what a side hustle means (2) Setting "competitive" (too low) prices because someone is an amateur amongst experts, is actually bad for those careers. The example you used was copywriting. Although you don't need university, I did my studies in multiple areas related to copywriting & is definitely a bummer when someone thinks it's a cute, easy path to lots of money or a random hobby to devalue.
Again, I totally appreciate your video & respect that you're helping others, trying many things, and being a living example for viewers. My overall suggestion is simply to consider people to not devalue themselves or others for measly amounts.
Nobody can manage all 10+ of those, so whatever people choose, I hope they practice quality & thoughtfulness ✨️

March 18, 2024 at 2:16 amHello and good afternoon. I hope that you are well. Does this really work, and can I take your email ? I am really trying to make some money to support living and costs and help me pay for the dentist. I would be very grateful for some help honestly. George.

March 18, 2024 at 2:16 amEtsy didn’t work for me.I was selling original oil paintings, I didn’t pay the Ad first month,then nobody found my store, after paying Ad I found the visitors increased about 70%; but sales was still 0. I totally lost money there.later I sold my artworks in an art center that much easy than Etsy. Good luck you guys!
@magdalenawiszniewska2825says:
March 18, 2024 at 2:16 amThats sonUS, be able to work remote, have yard, tax write off etc.
For all that i need my self employment active, then pay taxes but also social is a must no matter you make money or not ( small group can do it without own company but 700 dollars month tops). There are freelance gigs but please lets not say everyone can proofread or copywrite. You can do it badly. If you re English teacher or did that – then yes please.
50 dollars a day for a dog, 1500 a month, 😮😮😮😮😮 how rich one needs to be
